    Abstract

    The paper proposes a stochastic model to integrate tax issues into strategic distribution network decisions. Specifically, this study will explore the role of distribution models in business profitability, and how to use the network design to deliver additional bottom-line results, using distribution centres located in different countries. The challenge is also to reveal how financial and tax knowledge can help logistic leaders improving the value to their companies under global solutions and
    sources of business net profitability in a dynamic environment. In particular, based on inventory distribution, the different configurations are analysed in order to support the selection of the most profitable operations network.
